Well, I am so sorry I got out if my 'writing fever'. It was not on purpose. I started school again on Monday and my teachers decided "Hey let's make everyone's life a living hell of constant homework!" and I have a concert on Thursday night. So…much…work… I swear this weekend I'm going to crash. Well I'm sure nobody wants to listen to me bitch and moan so I'll get to the story. Oh also I have managed to lose my original floppy disk that has this entire story on it so far, so I'm doing this from memory instead of fresh. If I mess something up I'm sorry.

Point of No Return

Kyra's POV

Haru, Momiji and I were walking home together for the third time this week. Slowly I had started to speak to everyone, but somehow I have managed to avoid speaking to Haru. Except not in the sense where I speak to someone and tell him or her to relay the message. (A/N does that make sense?) It just seems he is sad for hurting me, and I'm sad that everything worked out the way it did.

Jacob and I sit together at lunch now everyday. There is still a very familiar sense about him that I can't put my finger on. Every aspect of him reminds me of something, but I cannot remember what.

"Ah," I exclaimed as I stepped into a pothole. It jarred my body and I slide to the ground. Inspecting my already swelling ankle I felt quite annoyed. It seemed since I didn't have Haru to get mad for me; I was developing quite a temper myself.

"Are you ok Kyra?" Momiji asked kneeling next to me. Haru stood next to him. There was slight annoyance at being delayed and worry for what I had done to myself on his face. "Maybe I should run a head and get Hatori to come and drive you the rest of the way." In a flash Momiji was running down the road towards the Sohma estate leaving Haru and I alone.

Normally Haru and I are creatures of silence and would be fine in an awkward situation, but considering the circumstances we both tried to fill the void.

"So, how have you been?" Haru started off.

"All right I guess. And you?" He didn't answer right away. At first he seemed like he was going to continue the informal conversation, but then he changed the mood in the blink of an eye.

"Miserable." I could tell by his body language, the way he slouched, and his barely kept hair that he wasn't exaggerating. He had a serious case of bed head.

"That would be my fault."

"I don't blame you. I blame myself for stupid decisions." We locked eyes and the world around us disappeared much like it had before all of this had begun.

"Rin is still in love with you." He blinked but other then that he didn't change much.

"I kind of figured that. For so long she wouldn't even look at me I knew something had to up for her to hug me."

"Then why are you 'mourning' over me? I know you love her to so go be with her."

"I do love Suzu, but as a dear friend. You are something else." I felt the bottom drop from my stomach but I clenched the earth around me trying to stay planted. These where the exact words I had wanted him to say not a week before, but instead he was saying them now as I was almost finished getting over him.

"Haru, why are you saying this now?" I felt tears in my eyes so I averted my gaze. The sound of a car coming down the road had Haru helping me to my feet instead of him answering my question.

"So what did you do to it exactly?" Hatori asked after we were back in his office and he was inspecting my ankle.

"Well, I stepped into a pothole and it rolled." He nodded then when to the cabinet to retrieve something.

"Well, it should be fine to walk on, just a nasty bruise and you'll have to keep this ace-bandage on there for stability."

"Alright."

"Haru?" Hatori addressed Haru and asked Momiji to help me back to my room.

"Yes, Hatori?"

"Kagura asked me to rely a message to you," the door to Hatori's office closed after that so I could not hear the rest. Instead of going to my room I went to see Akito. Momiji left me at the door because he was still mildly afraid of him.

"Afternoon Akito." I greeted him as I limped into the room. He was sitting by the window as usual staring at the people walk by.

"Hello. Anything interesting happen today?"

"I rolled my ankle on my way home."

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine. But there was something I wanted to ask you."

"Yes?"

"Do you think I could join the dojo? You know learn to defend myself and strengthen my muscles? That way I wouldn't have to be so dependent on everyone and I'm sure it would build my confidence." Akito sat in silence for a bit. He didn't seem angry, he just seemed pensive. (A/N vocabulary word).

"I don't see why you couldn't. Most of the Sohma women have learned karate at the dojo and I see no reason why you couldn't if that was what you wanted." I kissed his cheek on impulse then bid him good bye.

From there, I hobbled back to my room to start my pile of homework. Even though our day off was tomorrow I didn't want to have to worry about unfinished work. After two hours of work I felt my eyelids slide closed and my face land on my textbook, soon enough dreams engulfed me.

"But why is the sky blue?" I asked the beautiful woman in front of me. She just smiled and began to explain the answer to us. Her son and me. After she had finished I turned to him and said,"your eyes look like stars." He blushed and closed his eyes hiding their golden glow.

"Do you want some breakfast Kyra?" A voice broke into my dream. I sat up quickly and almost fell over.

"What?" The servant repeated her question and I declined. I didn't want to start my training with a full stomach. I dressed in a pair of light blue yoga pants and a black spaghetti strap tank top. Pulling my hair into a pony tail as I walked to the dojo and I saw Kyo enter before me.

I took a few deep breaths before I entered. I didn't know what I expected, but it was even better. It felt as if energy filled me up just by watching people fight.

"Hello, can I help you?" A tall man came over to me with a smile. Forcing the lump down my throat I tried to speak.

"Yes, um I came here a few days ago and asked if there was room for me to learn here. I was told to come back today at this time so here I am." I bounce slightly on the balls of my feet getting slightly excited.

"What is your name?"

"Kyra Titsugumi." He glanced up at me and rescanned me. A tinge on panic bubbled in the back of my mind, but he plastered the smile back on his face before I started to sweat.

"Right, come this way." I followed him to a wall in the main room; there were some small lockers to keep anything safe while you practiced. I removed all of my jewelry and started to stretch as another man came towards me, this one had Kyo by his side.

"Hello Kyo." I smiled at Kyo then the man.

"Hi Kyra, this is Master. Master this is Kyra." I bowed deeply and smiled. He did the same. "Master is the leader of this dojo, and he sort of raised me I guess." Kyo blushed slightly and a new light shed on 'master'.

"It would be an honor to learn under a man such as yourself who raise such a wonderful boy into a man." I complimented both Kyo and "Master" at the same time, but not with out being serious.

"Well Kyo, perhaps you should go practice and I'll start with Kyra. And my name isn't master, it's Kurema (A/N I can't remember how to spell his name right. Arg I'm sorry if it's wrong.)." We bowed again then he started his first lesson. Since my ankle was still slightly sore we didn't do anything strenuous.

By the end of the afternoon I was exhausted and happy. I couldn't remember the last time I had done something so productive. Sleep engulfed me as soon as my face hit my pillow.

Well I know this chapter sort of sucked, but I promise it will get better when I have more time to up-date and write. I'm still really sorry it took me so long. This chapter alone took my about a week and a half to write so if you can tell form the choppiness yes it took me a while to finally finish.
